Everyone’s busy turning themselves into Ghibli characters lately…

So I gave it a SaaS spin.

Instead of dreamy portraits, I've created Horror Movie Posters for SaaS team.

1/ Most companies underestimate their CAC.

They track ad spend but ignore the hidden costs eating into profitability.

Last year, I audited a SaaS company scaling aggressively in MENA.
Their CAC? 30-40% higher than they thought.

Here’s why. 🧵👇

Most startups burn money on ads to acquire users.

Notion didn’t.

Yet, they scaled to 100M+ users—without spending millions on paid marketing.

Here’s how they did it 🧵👇

Your lead gen system is failing.
More spend. Fewer conversions.
Unpredictable pipeline. Rising CAC.

It’s not a budget problem — it’s a system problem.

And here's how to fix it!

THREAD:

Your CAC isn’t high because you’re scaling.
It’s high because you’re wasting money.

Everyone’s talking about AI’s impact on professions, jobs, and processes.

But here’s the real question: how is it changing the end-users' behavior? And what kind of implications does it have for businesses, as a result.

It started with a trip. ✈️

In the spring of 2023, a startup founder & CEO boarded a flight to Silicon Valley.

At that time, AI for startups felt more like a buzzword than a business necessity.

Hey fellows at @bsky.app, I recommend paying attention to this serious UX issue with Urdu fonts on the iOS app. Thanks

The Urdu UX of the app isn’t excellent on the iPhone. Nastaleeq feels too congested, and some words broken.
